Sorry I don't have his cell phone number, his beeper number,
the serial number of his palm pilot, his driver's license number, his social
security number, his home address, the…
See, I don't know this guy all that well so, you'll just have
to make do with the meager contact information I've given you.
On to other stuff. In my December issue, I offered free
telephone consultations to anyone who wanted one. I've been giving those free
consultations until I'm blue in the face and…
But, I haven't been able to reach everybody. I have called
some people half a dozen times before I gave up. A few idiots left me their beeper
numbers instead of their telephone numbers.
Get real!
Anyway, I am now shredding
all the remaining requests I have for free consultations. If you still really
want a free consultation, I…
I Won't Make
Myself Crazy
Calling You Over And Over!
Let's talk about mail delivery in this so-called
"Age-of-Anthrax." Here is the text of a written message from Alice
of Specialized Mailing. (They're great people and their telephone number is
1-888-444-2284):
"I, Alice Mishica, PERSONALLY delivered
all of Gary Halbert's domestic,
Canadian, and international newsletters, all weighing exactly 1 oz.,
to the Santa
Ana General Mail Facility at 11:15 am on Saturday, November 10th.
"It takes a woman!"
Alrighty then. I asked my subscribers to fill out a
"Valued Subscriber Contact Form" which (among other things) asked
them to tell me when they received my December newsletter. Out of 100% of the
replies I received within the first 30-days, here's how it broke down:
41% received my newsletter 3-days after it was
mailed.
15% received my newsletter 4-days after it was
mailed.
14% received my newsletter 5-days after it was
mailed.
14% received my newsletter 6-days after it was
mailed.
5% received my newsletter 7-days after it was
mailed.
6% received my newsletter 8-days after it was
mailed.
1% received my newsletter 9-days after it was
mailed.
1% received my newsletter 10-days after it was
mailed.
3% received my newsletter 11-days after it was
mailed.
Know what I think? I think, in this
"Age-of-Anthrax"...
Direct Mail Is Still The
"Jackpot" Way To Produce Fungolas!
For one thing, as far as competition goes, it has thinned out
the weak (cowardly) members of the herd.
Now, let's go all the way back to the beginning of this
letter. Remember I said, "OK,
dammit, I AM going to put on a free
'Patches of Light' seminar!"? Well, that seminar is, in fact, going
to be free. And like I said, it's going to
be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 19th, 20th and 21st…
You Can Bring ALL The Guests You Want!
There is going to be something very
special about this seminar which is going
to make it extremely valuable! (You'll
have to show up to find out.)
Is anybody NOT
welcome? Yep. I do NOT want a
single negative person to attend. I do NOT
want a single "sour-minded" person…
Do NOT Come!
It's free, but you do have to do one thing to make sure you
can get in. You
have to let us know you are coming and
how many people you
are bringing to the seminar with you... plus...
you have to let us know immediately!
You can either:
1.
Leave a message on our voicemail
at 305/534-7577 and
give us
ALL this information; or
2.
You can fax
ALL this info to us at 352/861-1665;
or
3.
You can write us (if you do it right
now!) by using the address on the first page of this newsletter.
(It's up at the top of the letterhead, you dummy.)
See, we've got to know immediately
how many people are coming so we can determine which hotel we should use...
and... what size seminar room we should rent.
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert

"Dialing-For-Dollars"
P.S.
Hey Man, I really write a bitch of a newsletter,
don't I? (Compare it, for example, to that "package-of-shit"
Joe Polish sends out every month!)
Peace.
